Ori And The Blind Forest Physical Release Coming In June
If you missed out on Ori and the Blind Forest or loved it so much you want a physical copy on the shelf, Nordic Games and Microsoft are making that happen. Both the Steam and Xbox One editions are getting hard copy versions next month.
On PC, there will be two editions. The standard version is priced at $19.99 and includes a poster and “premium packaging.” For an additional $10, the limited edition includes a Steelbook, soundtrack CD, two posters, and two postcards.
The two PC editions and an Xbox One version (which doesn’t appear to have any of the pack-ins) will arrive on June 14. For more, you can check out our review of Ori and the Blind Forest.
Our Take
As digital continues its takeover, retail releases like this serve dual purposes. First, shelf space is still important for the vast consumer base that doesn’t read gaming websites or peruse the online storefronts. Second, for those that love games like Ori, it’s a chance to bring home a collector’s edition after the fact.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
